5 For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind.
6 He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself.
8 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9 For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.
